Strap in and rev it up, gearheads! In this episode, we sit down with the ultimate 2-wheel maniac and free spirit, Michael “Hey-Now” Henao. From tearing through the clouds to win the 2013 Pikes Peak Superbike 750 class to tackling the legendary high banks of the Daytona 200 on a Ducati 848EVO, Michael knows what it means to live life at the absolute limit.

But Michael isn't just about chasing his own adrenaline. As a gritty privateer who runs his own MotoAmerica Twins and racing efforts, he knows the hustle of trackside More importantly, he has turned his pure passion into a mission to build smarter, safer riders as a coach for the Yamaha Champions Riding School and his own ChampMini programs.

We also dive deep into his adventures across the globe. Michael shares what it’s like leading epic motorcycle tours through the stunning coastal roads of Thailand. We take a fascinating detour into how the Buddhist culture of mindfulness applies directly to riding motorcycles. As you'll hear in this episode, hitting the perfect line and dragging a knee isn't just about speed; the motorcycle is actually a vehicle that forces you completely into the present moment.
